I guess Riot has good references too. Even if it's SC2. I think its sort of funny how in many cases they deliberately choose not to learn from the game it actually makes sense to learn from.

The problem I think with 2v1 lanes is that Riot has basically killed all options for a laner at level 1-2 other than being in lane. So when you have a lane that's as hopeless as a 2v1, you can't do anything other than stay there. You can't gank mid (certainly not with the effectiveness of early game warding nowadays), and there's no farm for you take somewhere else (e.g. the jungle). 2v1 being as degenerate as it is now is simply a product of other aspects of the game. | ||

Meta enforcement allegedly being worked on by riot. To be fair, I agree with the general idea/problem. The constant 2v1s mean that the pool of top champions has indeed shrunk dramatically, and ranged top laners are otherwise dominant. What the solution is, I can't quite see. I will reserve judgement until I see the change. EDIT: Or see Yango's post above. | ||

With faster 2 you could push faster as well so there's that too. | ||

With faster 2 you could push faster as well so there's that too. I don't think Riot has solutions in mind that require completely redesigning the entire map and moving jungle camps around. I don't really know what the solution is going to be either. Basically it either needs to be easier for melee champs to stay under the tower and survive, or harder for ranged champs to poke them / push the tower down. | ||

Exactly. This can even be applied to Top lane in general and why so many Top lane champs are considered "toxic." Losing lane to a Trynd? Not much you can do now except try to farm whatever camps are left in the Jungle and not die to tower dives. | ||

I do lament that some of the champs I like to play are rarely played like Jax, Irelia, Olaf, and Singed (although I really don't think his nerfs were so bad). On the other hand, most of my lamentation is really just that I hate watching a lot of the popular champs: Zed, Rumble, Khazix, and Renekton I find to be unlikeable. So, bleh. | ||

A lot of it revolves around crit being a dumb mechanic. Trynda is a character that require adequate counterplay, but you can : 1) destroy his power-timing by wrecking him in lane 2) reduce his efficiency in teamfights with lots of CC 3) pick champions that directly screw over his playstyle (Kayle as an example is pretty awesome against him) | ||

The only CC on my team is panth stun and nami, not really enough to keep them off of me. Pray to madlife for salvation and in the case of your team hope that since they're burning everything onto you pantheon and your mid/top (wherever the panth laned) and jungle can kill them or if you have good peel then just try to play safe (I once had to deal with noct/liss/malph/kha but darius built utility with locket rush into randuins so I stood far back while darius kept pulling noct and kha off me, granted I was caitlyn not graves so that's easier). | ||

1. Change tower AI to Dota's tower AI. This makes it harder for 1v2s to chip down a tower. 2. Put the ADC alone in the hard lane and lane the melee fighter with a support. This makes up for certain melee champs' weaknesses in bad 1v1 and 1v2 matchups. Another strategy taken from Dota. | ||
